Weren't you the one that dismissed Trump's dealings as they weren't against/breaking any laws?

[Troy Loney]

So essentially, your point is, why are some things against the law when others aren't. And because other bad stuff isn't against the law, why should we hold someone accountable for breaking the law.

It took a while to confirm that this was your argument. We waste too much time here confirming that your arguments should be dismissed.

My argument is that everyone should be held accountable if you break the law. Also that people like to say “oh I’m against that, and it shouldn’t be done, but it isn’t against the law.”, and then not care about it enough to fight against it. People should fight just as hard against shady law circumvention as much as they fight against law breaking. It shouldn’t matter who or what did the act.

I think this makes bringing up the congressional NDAs even more perplexing.

If he broke the law prosecute him. It isn’t hard to understand. I’ve been saying it for the last 2 going on 3 years.

Lol.

That Congressional NDA slush fund dates back to the 1990s. It covers discrimination claims as well as harassment claims.

But you just spent the entire morning dismissing him breaking the law because the rest of congress does it too... despite the fact that what they do, while shady, doesn't actually break the law. We've hit that point...

The grunty vortex.

Reuters reported that Putin said he was unsure why Butina was facing jail time in the U.S.

“I asked all the heads of our intelligence services what is going on," Putin said. "Nobody knows anything about her."

[Factorial]

Putin said he didn't do it. Works for me.

[Troy Loney]

Is that why the Russian gov has conducted 6 consular visits to Butina, passed 4 diplomatic notes to State about her case, and had Lavrov personally speak to Pompeo twice about her prosecution? (The official Kremlin Twitter account changed its avatar to a picture of her, too.)

Your sole role in this thread has become "dismissing him breaking the law".

[tifosi77]

To be fair, that's largely on the rest of us. We keep making him defend Trump, despite his protestations.

Lol. Ok junior. If you say so.

Being anti anti-Trump is a full time job.

Being anti-fact manipulation. Get it right.

Love to see more prosecutions for shady law circumvention (ed. note: ?????????????????????????????????????????????)

I sure hope there is video of what’s described in this thread.

White House reporters coming out of the meeting between President Trump, Senator Chuck Schumer and Rep Nancy Pelosi look stunned. I'm told all three were yelling at each other, sparring openly and accusing each other of mischaracterizing comments.

Pelosi is trash so not surprising, imo.

Nancy Pelosi just slipped and said a "Christmas present to the American people," but quickly corrected herself and said, "Holiday present"
